CDBG Public Hearing #2 · 2026-04-30 · agenda_item

This notice concerns a public hearing for the Village of Islamorada regarding Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) subgrants. The hearing will review how applicants have performed in Minority-/Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE) contracting and local government minority employment. Applicants can earn points based on their M/WBE contracting percentages and their percentage of minority employees compared to county demographics. This review is part of the application process for CDBG subgrants. The process involves reviewing past performance reports and calculating scores based on submitted data. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers may find opportunities by engaging with applicants who are seeking to meet or exceed M/WBE contracting goals. Early outreach to these applicants before final bids and permits are established could provide a competitive advantage.
